Chapter 85



After the initial shock wore off, Lisa's heart brimmed with glee and a touch of schadenfreude. She didn't confront the situation right then. Instead, she whipped out her phone and quickly recorded a short video, sending it straight to Lucas.

Lucas was in the middle of handling Linda's discharge papers when he got the video from Lisa. He didn't think much of her—a woman from the slums, insecure, sensitive, always hung up on her own status. They had exchanged a few messages before but never actually talked.

The video Lisa sent showed Chloe having dinner with a man, both of them laughing and chatting. Suddenly, the man leaned in and kissed her. Chloe didn't push him away. Instead, she smiled even more. Lucas felt a sharp pang in his chest, and his grip on the phone tightened. He remembered the night he had just come back to the country. Chloe had told him she had a boyfriend. He thought she was just pretending. But it was true. Chloe really had a boyfriend. A surge of anger bubbled up inside him, and he immediately dialed Chloe's number.

On the other side, Chloe and Connor had just finished their meal and were about to leave when her phone lit up on the table. Connor clearly saw the name "Lucas." His face darkened instantly. Chloe picked up the phone, glanced at Connor, and then answered it.
